HC Deb 05 June 1905 vol 147 c710
MR. BOLAND

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that, instead of finishing the toe of the slip at Boat Cove, Glen, county Kerry, last year, the Congested Districts Board went to the expense of carting a number of bags of cement from Glen into Cahirciveen, where each bag is now a solid mass and unfit for further use; whether the official responsible for this waste of public money will be asked for an explanation; and whether good cement will now be sent to replace what has bee a rendered useless, with a view to completing this piece of work.

MR. ATKINSON

The fast is as stated in the first inquiry, save that the Board have no reason to suppose that the cement is useless. As my right hon. friend recently informed the hon. Member, the Board intend to have a further inspection made in order to ascertain whether additional work is advisable.

MR. BOLAND

Will the inspection be made before the end of the summer?

MR. ATKINSON

I hope so.
